Poco Baby Hammock Raw Cotton

The Poco Baby Hammock will give your baby a familiar sensation of its mother's womb enabling your baby to relax, rest, and sleep. Many cultures throughout the ages have relied on this technique to comfort and sleep their babies, so baby hammocks are not new or original, they are however, becoming ever more popular in our society.

This Hammock has not only been designed to create a safe and perfect sleeping environment, but also to ease symptoms of colic and reflux. It also comes complete with a travel bag so your baby can have their own bed wherever you go.

Features

In first few weeks baby didn't sleep well in this and was co-sleeping but switched to this after it was used as a travel cot. He has settled well in it for over 5 months. He seems to particularly benefit from the more enclosed space as well as the movement. When he moves the hammock begins rocking him so it is calms when he has unsettled movement.
At 7 months he is quite long in it but still way below the weight limit. He will be using it until he doesn't fit it any more. Only concern is moving him out into something that doesn't rock. My daughter wonders if he will move straight into a toddler bed!
Positives are many good nights sleep and settled daytime naps. Ease of rocking it. able to keep 7 month old in parents bedroom. Can easily be moved around when necessary and also be used as a travel cot. Particularly good to feel secure that baby will sleep when you're away!
On the negative side it does take up more space than a newborn crib, but not as much as a cot. As he has got larger it is a bit more difficult to get him into the hammock.

7 months and still in this hammock

After having my first child who was such a bad sleeper I looked for an alternative to a moses basket as my husband and I were like zombies and a friend recommended the Poco hammock and I cannot say enough about it, our baby has slept so well from day one and its so easy to assemble and take down when we visit our friends and family, thank you kiddicare for a great product, might have baby number three !!

A life saver, sleep at last

It takes up double the space of a traditional moses basket. Difficult for me to assemble and needed some force behind it to click in. Poor paintwork - I returned the 1st one due to scratches on it and the 2nd one I could not assemble due to poor alignment then found it difficult to un-assemble. I think it would be a nightmare to use as a travel cot as suggested in one description I read.
It really is not a straight forward piece of baby furniture. I was really looking forward to using a hammock, based on all the reviews, and one friend managed to use it successfully. Although hers may have been a different brand. I am just glad I had enough time to try it return two and replace with a traditional moses basket.
Kiddicare were great with there service. A big shame about the product.

Not as easy as they say !

quick delivery.
Baby not here yet. Possibly hard to get baby in and out from end of hammock when baby gets heavy, but time to move to cot then I guess.

This product has saved my sanity!! My 3.5 month sleeps through the night in her cot just fine. However she has trouble napping and started fighting her naps in the past few weeks. She would cry as soon as she realises I'm trying to put her to sleep. I used to rock her to sleep but now she's too alert and just wants to play! She's sleepy after 1.5 hour but I can't get her to nap so she becomes overtired. I tried every technique I could think of and have read several books and internet forums to get tips, but nothing was working. I'm against the CIO method and was desperate as she would just cry most of the day because she was overtired. We resorted to driving her around the block to get her to sleep!! My parents suggested trying the old school way of putting babies using a hammock. I did some research and found this product. It was easy to assemble and the quality was good! As soon as I placed my daughter in it she cried for a few seconds then settled and fell asleep. She now naps 2/3 hour at a time! She occasionally cries for no more than 10-20 seconds when I place her in it, nothing compared to before! I wish I'd bought it earlier. (FYI I also swaddle her, securely hang her lovie to the top area, play white noise during nap time.)
